    My shorter fics written for MCYTblr AU Fest Battleship 2025! Lots of them were churned out very quickly to hit very specific assortments of tags, or were conceived by pulling random tags and requests as prompts during boss battles in an effort to just keep contributing word count as fast as possible, which probably explains why they're like that ^^;

    Summary

    You feel half-awake, shunted out of one language and into another, although you and the revenant speak the same way. You understand one thing and one thing only, with the kind of clarity constructed of dreamwork, of rabbit’s-paw instinct: the last time you saw this man should’ve been the last time he was seen at all.

    or: It's time to solve a murder mystery. Pix finds a clue and not much more. False finds a trail and nothing else remains.

    Summary

    The guards left, slamming the door shut behind them, and Pearl felt her hair stand on end as the wards reactivated, a staticky zing traveling through her shackles and grounding in her skin.

    The prisoner startled, levered himself up and hissed through his teeth. “Right, that wasn’t the smartest decision I’ve made this week,” he remarked quietly. “Scar? Are you across from me?”

    Shuffling in the opposite cell. “Can you do me a favor?” a second voice asked. “The next time you threaten guards, can you try to have a weapon first to strike fear into their hearts? I think you broke our hand.”

    “We have another,” the man said defensively, and Scar huffed a laugh. “And anyway– oh. There’s someone else in here with me.”

    Summary

    Then the thing he'd summoned beams at Grian, and despite the sharp fangs and ashy color of the lips, Grian knows that smile. The bright sunlight of Scar having accomplished something, too delighted with himself to keep the feeling inside his own body.

    "...Scar?" Grian asks, feeling every inch the idiot he'd been to get into this mess.

    It nods, hovering back close into his personal space, reaching down and beginning to fuss with-

    A scream of pain tears itself free from Grian, and he passes out.

     

    or:
    Grian messes with some magic he shouldn't have while desperate, and gets himself and Scar tangled up in a new magical bond as well as their old soulmate bond.

    Summary

    “If you’re going to get married,” Jiang Cheng ground out, “then you’re going to damn well get married at Lotus Pier.”

    Wei Wuxian blinked once. Again. Then: “what?”

    Or: the one with sibling reconciliation, brother-in-laws from hell, and Jiang Cheng trying to sort through his feelings while acknowledging them as little as possible.
